OpenStack developers meeting at FOSDEM

Next week, the European free and open source software developers will converge to Brussels for FOSDEM. We took this opportunity to apply for an OpenStack developers gathering in the Virtualization and Cloud devroom.

At 6pm on Saturday (last session of the day), in the Chavanne room, we will have a one-hour town hall meeting. If you’re an existing OpenStack contributor, a developer considering to join us, an upstream project developer, a downstream distribution packager, or just curious about OpenStack, you’re welcome to join us ! I’ll be there, Stefano Maffulli (our community manager) will be there, and several OpenStack core developers will be there.

We’ll openly discuss issues and solutions about integration with upstream projects, packaging, governance, development processes, community or release cycles. In particular, we’ll have a distribution panel where every OpenStack distribution will be able to explain how they support OpenStack and discuss what we can improve to make things better for them.

And at the end of the session we can informally continue the discussion around fine Belgian beers or their famous Carbonade !
